I will definitely buy a physical copyI didn't expect for this book to be enjoyable due to its topic, boy was I wrong. it was worth listening to it. the narrator did an outstanding job. his mood kept my attention. for those wanting to know more about marketing. add this to your list as a must.

This is a must read book for anybody with a business. My basic background was not in strategic business marketing. However, this book has not only brought my net profit up in all of my businesses. It has also generated significant concepts and ideas to drive my business on a global scale after applying what was discussed to my businesses. Period, this book works!

Thank you,Rick and Ron for writing what I call a master piece and great job Mr. Bray in your enthusiastic narration.

Would you try another book from Rick Cesari and Ron Lynch and/or R. C. Bray?

probably not

What could Rick Cesari and Ron Lynch have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

More useful information and how-to's, less talking about how amazing your firm is. the book served essentially as a long-form advertisement discussing their firm's incredible bredth and depth of experience, and had an implicit (so you should hire us to take care of this for you) after almost every paragraph. There were certainly some useful pieces of information, though, so it gets 3 stars in my book.

What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?

Excellent narration.

What did you take away from Buy Now that you can apply to your work?

consumers think in $20 increments, and the difference between how men and women consider purchases

Would you consider the audio edition of Buy Now to be better than the print version?

I am sure both audio and print would be fine.

Any additional comments?

The books is sold as a how-to, and a good bit of the book is history of the authors DR business.The details and how-to starts in chapter 10, and I thought those details were a bit lite, I would like more information and resources to contact to get a start in the business.
